Looking for a wireless flash trigger system that can do a mounted flash, PC or 1/4" plug. Something like a Cactus system would suit me. This will be for indoor studio use only. Not looking for optically tripped sensors.

If you have, PM or email me and be sure to include make/model/ect...

    Thanks Ted. Sorta thinking someone may have an 8ch (or more) that is not being used. Might even consider a 4ch at the right price since it's only going to be used to trigger a studio lighting control. Nothing major...

    I'd rather reuse/re-purpose items that are no longer used by another private party. But I see the triggers you've mentioned and will give these serious consideration if I can't find used...

    Last bump... I'll buy a cheap rig off eBay early next year if no one has something for me.

    Looking to see if anyone has a 4ch laying around unused. I just need one trans/recv setup to trigger a studio strobe power pack. I do have a budget on this, but PM or email if you think you have something I can use and don't need it any longer...

    Becarefull of Cheap ones if.......
    Becarefull of the lower cost transmitters you find on Ebay especially if you are going to shoot in a location that has a lot of WiFi networks. Wireless routers are in the same frequency band as most transmitters (2.4ghz). When you are in an area that has a lot of radio traffic the cheaper ones will miss fire.

    More expensive transmitters have fail safe triggering mechanisms to reduce the chance of misfire from stray signals in the same channel.

    Thanks for the FYI. This is something needed to know. I'll be using this in studio only, and I do have a "B"wifi, on the other side of the house, but I'm the only wifi my `puter can find.



    OH, and BUMP... I'm still looking!

    Yes, I have a set that I've been meaning to sell. It's in my ofc, which I'll be returning to on Monday 1/4, so I can provide details then. If I recall correctly, it's a 4-channel set purchased from Gadget Infinity. I used it with studio strobes just a few times, before switching to a system with more channels.

    I'll try to dig up the info and supply it on Monday.
    Canon EOS 7D ........ 24-105 f/4L | 50 f/1.4 | 70-200 f/2.8L IS + 1.4x II TC ........ 580EX
    Supported by: Benro C-298 Flexpod tripod, MC96 monopod, Induro PHQ1 head
    Also play with: studio strobes, umbrellas, softboxes, ...and a partridge in a pear tree...
